Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iraqi Ayatollah: Muslims can lend slave girls to friends to prevent marital problems

May 12, 2016 4:55 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic apologists in the West have assured us that the sex slavery practiced by Boko Haram (the Islamic State in West Africa) and the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. Ayatollah Abdul Karim Al-Haeri begs to differ. How did he get this ridiculous and Islamophobic idea? From reading the Qur’an: the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war” (33:50). 4:3 and 4:24 extend this privilege to Muslim men in general. The Qur’an says that a man may have sex with his wives and with these slave girls: “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)

The rape of captive women is also sanctioned in Islamic tradition:

Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-’azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Sahih Muslim 3371)

It is also in Islamic law: “When a child or a woman is taken captive, they become slaves by the fact of capture, and the woman’s previous marriage is immediately annulled.” (Umdat al-Salik O9.13)

The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that “we are in the era of jihad,” and that meant Muslims would take slaves. In a subsequent interview he elaborated:

Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels. Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars—there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.

When a slave market is erected, which is a market in which are sold slaves and sex-slaves, which are called in the Qur’an by the name milk al-yamin, “that which your right hands possess” [Koran 4:24]. This is a verse from the Qur’an which is still in force, and has not been abrogated. The milk al-yamin are the sex-slaves. You go to the market, look at the sex-slave, and buy her. She becomes like your wife, (but) she doesn’t need a (marriage) contract or a divorce like a free woman, nor does she need a wali. All scholars agree on this point—there is no disagreement from any of them. […] When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her.

Around the same time, on May 25, 2011, a female Kuwaiti politician, Salwa al-Mutairi, also spoke out in favor of the Islamic practice of sexual slavery of non-Muslim women, emphasizing that the practice accorded with Islamic law and the parameters of Islamic morality.

A merchant told me that he would like to have a sex slave. He said he would not be negligent with her, and that Islam permitted this sort of thing. He was speaking the truth. I brought up [this man’s] situation to the muftis in Mecca. I told them that I had a question, since they were men who specialized in what was halal, and what was good, and who loved women. I said, “What is the law of sex slaves?”

The mufti said, “With the law of sex slaves, there must be a Muslim nation at war with a Christian nation, or a nation which is not of the religion, not of the religion of Islam. And there must be prisoners of war.”

“Is this forbidden by Islam?” I asked.

“Absolutely not. Sex slaves are not forbidden by Islam. On the contrary, sex slaves are under a different law than the free woman. The free woman must be completely covered except for her face and hands. But the sex slave can be naked from the waist up. She differs a lot from the free woman. While the free woman requires a marriage contract, the sex slave does not—she only needs to be purchased by her husband, and that’s it. Therefore the sex slave is different than the free woman.”

The savage exploitation of girls and young women is, unfortunately, a cross-cultural phenomenon, but only in Islamic law does it carry divine sanction.

“Iraqi Ayatollah Al-Haeri: People Who Will Oppose the Mahdi Will Become Slaves or Slave Girls, Who Can Be Lent Out to Friends,” MEMRI, April 7, 2016:

Iraqi Ayatollah Abdul Karim Al-Haeri, Director of the Karbala Hawza Shiite seminary, said in a video that after the arrival of the Mahdi, it would be permissible to take five or ten slave girls from among those who oppose the imam, and to offer them to friends for sex, when they come over. Al-Haeri recommended this as a means to prevent marital problems: “If his wife asks him where he was, he has no problem [telling her he was with his friend],” he said. Excerpts from the lecture were posted on April 7 on the Facebook page of Beith Al-Wujdan Al-Thaqafi, a group focused on enlightenment and extremism in the Arab and Islamic world.

      Taqiyya ‘prevents problems’. Shi’ites use taqiyya liberally. Nothing they say may be trusted. Someone should tell John Kerry about taqiyya in detail.

      • Carolyne says

        Oh, I think Kerry knows about taquyya. He practices it all the time.

      Yes–they are all ’round slaves–used for forced labor *and* forced sex.

    Can you imagine “Methodists can lend slave girls to friends to prevent marital problems?” Or Buddhists saying this? Or Orthodox Jews? Or Sikhs? Or Catholics? Or Hindus? Or atheists? Or agnostics? Or….? Or….? Or….? Or…..?

    Islam is sick to its very core. The rot begins with its reputed founder, the character of whom should be denigrated fiercely rather than, as it is by over a billion deluded people, praised profusely. There is no reforming rot and if you take the rot out of Islam, well, you just won’t have much left, and what would be left can be found elsewhere so what’s the damn point of arguing for keeping any of Islam around? My God, Islam is appalling. a curse to the entire human race with evil written all over it. I loathe it. All sensible and knowledgeable people should, respecting which subset of the human species there is still not nearly enough of them. Damn.

      And all Muslim males are aware of it, Wellington! They will admit it in sly conversation. They all know they are entitled to rape kafirs. They are smug about it.

      • Carolyne says

        May 13, 2016 at 10:23 am

        Are Muslim men allowed to deny sex to their wives? Just wondering

        • gravenimage says

          May 13, 2016 at 4:40 pm

          Yes–women must submit to their husbands demands for sex at any time–this is in the Qur’an–there is no such need for a Muslim to see to his wife’s sexual needs.

    • Azacque says

      May 12, 2016 at 8:13 pm

      All true, Wellington. How shocked would people be if some member of another faith said such a thing? But then, it would never happen.

  4. Angemon says

    May 12, 2016 at 6:31 pm

    This ayatollah is a sham. A SHAM!!! There’s no such thing as “marital problems” in islam because women aren’t allowed to deny sex to their husbands. According to the hadiths, muhammad said: “when a man calls his wife to fulfill his needs, she must go to him, even if she is busy with the oven” and “she must go to him even if she is on the back of a camel”.

    An ayatollah getting schooled by a filthy kuffar? A SHAM!!!

    • mortimer says

      May 12, 2016 at 7:40 pm

      Yes, Mohammed encouraged his jihadists to share the plunder and slaves. However, Mohammed took the prettiest captives so he could rape them first.

    “For they are free from blame”…whenever Muslim males rape najis, ‘slutty’ Western kafirs.

    Welcome, RAPEFUGEES to Europe land of free sex and welfare cheques.

    The police will look the other way so no Muslim will shout “RACIST!” when they rape “slutty” European women.

    Kafirs are ‘mubaa’ (fair game) according to Sharia law. There is no penalty for raping a dirty ‘slutty’ kafir. They don’t believe a pedophile pirate can be a prophet, so they ‘have it coming to them’.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “How Low Muslims Will Go”

    And if you’re a sick-o with sexual deviancy *issues* then islam would be a good fit for you!

    • gravenimage says

      May 13, 2016 at 4:54 pm

      Yes, Champ. What appalls me is when clueless Infidels think Islam is “modest”, and an antidote to loose tendencies in Western culture.

      But no Westerner, even the most indecent, would *ever* suggest something like this.

  8. mortimer says

    May 12, 2016 at 8:07 pm

    The amorality expressed in the hadith quoted above (Sahih Muslim 3371) is typical of Islam. There is no hint of awareness (that a normally moral man would have) of the grave crime of raping a captive.

    Muslims, especially Muslim males, have seared consciences and they mostly know that. They know their prophet commands them to do evil, especially to women.

    • gravenimage says

      May 13, 2016 at 5:11 pm

      This is not just amorality–it is *immorality*.

      Someone who is amoral might sleep around without much thought about the emotional well-being of their partners–but it takes real evil to take victims as sex slaves.

  9. mortimer says

    May 12, 2016 at 8:45 pm

    There it is. The sexual abuse of women in Islam is authorized from the very TOP levels of Islamic theologians.

    How do the Leftists feel about allying themselves with WORLD-CLASS MISOGYNISTS?

  10. David says

    May 12, 2016 at 8:46 pm

    These vile and barbaric savages are worse then the NAZI’s! When will the free peoples of this world again unite, to free this planet from such an unspeakable EVIL?
    Where are the likes of FDR and Winston Churchill now, when we need their kind AGAIN?

  11. mortimer says

    May 12, 2016 at 9:03 pm

    And it’s not considered ‘adultery’… they don’t like that ugly, yet accurate, word. Muslim men can cheat without getting stoned.

    • KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM says

      May 13, 2016 at 2:45 am

      Yeah; but being stoned is a good excuse for bad behaviour. Like being drunk without the odour.

    • gravenimage says

      May 13, 2016 at 4:33 pm

      So true, Mortimer.

  12. Westman says

    May 13, 2016 at 12:40 am

    “If his wife asks him where he was, he has no problem [telling her he was with his friend],”

    And if she says, “How did i get this STD from you?”

    Should he answer that, “he was with his friend”?

    How can an Imam be so incredibly evil and stupid? Can you buy the position of Imam or get it as a political payoff?

    • gravenimage says

      May 13, 2016 at 5:15 pm

      He doesn’t need to get it as a political payoff, Westman–that implies that he is corrupt or that this is not real Islam.

      The problem is that this vileness *is* real Islam. This is exactly what the vicious “Prophet” did, as well–he would hand out captured sex slaves as ‘party favors’ to his thug followers–after taking the most attractive victims for himself, of course…

  14. Jenny H says

    One the many horrid results from this disgusting theology is that the locus of control of a person’s individual decision making is external rather than internal. Brainwashed devout muslims follow nit-picking often vicious, heartless and cruel laws. Any innate decency, ethical standards or conscience is suppressed or overridden by the religious brainwashing. Also, with people from families with an extremely long history in Islam, maybe the difference is genetic; the brain rewiring is permanent.

  15. Dean says

    May 13, 2016 at 2:10 pm

    Well why not and isn’t is obvious? She is just a piece of property like my power saw and I can lend that. In one statement revealing his support for slavery and reducing women to property but will never get any attention from fem libber focused on attaching American men or all of the believers that we can somehow assimilate such a culture.

  16. gravenimage says

    May 13, 2016 at 4:28 pm

    Iraqi Ayatollah: Muslims can lend slave girls to friends to prevent marital problems
    …………………………..

    Just being a good host, like lending your guest an umbrella if it starts raining when he’s heading home…sarc/off

    Note, as usual, that the only question is whether the slave can be lent out, or just raped by her owner–her *own* well being is not, of course, a concern.

    The only slight hedging this learned Ayatollah is that this will take place “after the arrival of the Mahdi”. Of course, one Muslim group or another at any given time believes that the Mahdi has arrived, or is at least immanent, so this may be much like the much more innocent Infidel concept when contemplating having a drink that “it’s after 5pm somewhere in the world”…

    God, I hate Islam.

  17. davej says

    May 14, 2016 at 12:03 am

    Islam is an exclusively male cult of psychopaths who are inherently violent and abusive to all women, They dress their own women in garbage bags while harassing and attacking Western women. They are thugs, a criminal gang, plain and simple.

  18. overman says

    May 14, 2016 at 8:38 pm

    This is slightly off-topic, but l didn’t know where to ask.
    l just heard someone saying that mohammed believed that when he died he would marry the Virgin Mary. Also, muslims hold the Marian apparitions at Fatima in high regard because mohammed’s daughter was called ‘fatima’.

    l’ve never heard Robert or anyone else talk about this, so just wondering if it’s true.

    • overman says

      May 14, 2016 at 8:43 pm

      P.S. Apparently, hundreds of muslims are having visions of Mary all over middle-east, and She’s telling them to give up their murderous ways – lets hope so.

    • Angemon says

      May 15, 2016 at 8:25 am

      The first one is true, and a lengthier explanation can be found on answering-islam:

      As for the second one, I don’t know.
